​HAWAII TRUSTEE'S FIDUCIARY DUTY TO TRUST AND BENEFICIARIES
The general duty of the trustee is to administer a trust expeditiously for the benefit of the beneficiaries.  The trustee’s standard of care is that of a prudent person dealing with the property.  If the trustee has special skills or expertise, the trustee is under a duty to use those skills.  A trustee also has fiduciary duty to the trust and beneficiaries of the trust.

The trustee must keep the beneficiaries of the trust reasonably informed of the trust and its administration.

(2)  Upon reasonable request, the trustee shall provide the beneficiary with a copy of the terms of the trust which describe or affect the beneficiary's interest and with information about the assets of the trust and the particulars relating to the administration.
